Forgotten Ruins II

[Rebel]

This is a the castle from the first image (Forgotten Ruins) in all its glory

I had to climb a MASSIVE sand dune to get to this only to get to the top to see that there is a footpath route

Anyway, the image:

Beautiful, Matt!

Beautiful, Matt!

Thanks Dean.

I've just spotted an evil face in the clouds, can anyone else see it?

WOW! Super image Matt Are you talking about the evil face on the top right corner?

Out standing the PP on the colors is excellent and the general composition is terrific . Your climb seems to have paid off

[Rebel]

Thanks both.

WOW! Super image Matt Are you talking about the evil face on the top right corner?

Yes Binnur top right

[Tom Barry]

Well done - and yes, I see the face, too.

Matt, your trek up the sand dune is called taking the scenic route to capture a beautiful scene. I don't see the face but what is that little white dot just done from the top about half way between the tree and the castle? Is it a star, moon?

Thanks Rita, and the white dot is the moon.

I like this shot of the ruin a lot more than the one you posted the other day. No question about this shot being about it.

Interesting lighting too. The front of the ruin is nicely lit as is the sky. I'm not sure if the moon really adds all that much. That being said a nice large "harvest moon" would have been wonderful.

Anyhow; nice shot and nice treatment in post.

[Shadowman]

Nicely done, only critique is the centrally placed pathway. Our eyes are already immediately drawn to the ruin, the pathway makes me think there should be more behind the structure.

[joebranko]

Great lighting! Lovely shot!

[NorthernFocus]

Nice composition and lighting/post nicely handled. IMO the moon and tree in left of frame don't add anything. Overall a lovely image.

[Rebel]

Thanks for the views/comments all.

Very nice Matt, your footpath story is straight out of my book!

I never do things the easy way!

[Ziggy]

Stands out well with that sky in the background.

[Tom47]

Love the shot it would be great as a poster.

[DougR]

Very dramatic with beautiful colors.

I think I see more than one demon in the clouds...

+1 to Doug's first sentence in his comments. I don't see the demon shape you see as a demon but a dog's face...
